I have to admit, dear readers, that I failed you. I went hiking in Oberstdorf instead, and to be honest, it was worth it. Oberstdorf is situated in the southwest corner of Bavaria, only a few miles from the Austrian border. I had a wonderful day, walking some 4 hours downhill (did I mention I was feeling lazy?), surrounded by a beautiful mixed forest of spruce and beech trees, and with breathtaking views of the snow-capped mountains.
I did think of the food blogging aspect of the trip, of course, so I unselfishly sacrificed myself for your sake, and took a 10 minute detour to buy a Brotzeit (literally bread time, a Bavarian term for an afternoon snack/meal) in a small mountain hut that produced their own Allgäuer Bergkäse (Allgäuish mountain cheese).
The Brotzeit consisted of a couple of slices of bread, generously coated with butter of their own production, some slices of their Bergkäse, some local bacon, and of course a local brew. It was delicious, and looked like this:

So, I had a very nice Whit Monday. I hope you did too.
